Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He was looking for a seed store. He asked around and found a store here. The store was full of various seeds. Su He was really impressed. There were many varieties of seeds here, including vegetable seeds, flower seeds, and grain seeds. There were also clay plates and pots for planting. Su He found sweet potato vines here. When he saw them, his eyes lit up. Finally, there was a solution. China had relied on them to survive many natural disasters. Su He bought a handful and prepared to go home and cultivate them in the soil.

Su He also bought some vegetable seeds and raised them on racks in the house to see if they could be grown. This winter, there would be a lot of fresh vegetables. Su He felt that he had forgotten a lot of things, including the greenhouse in winter. There was no plastic here, but it could be grown in the house. He also had a few empty houses that were just right for growing vegetables. This gave him another opportunity to make money in winter, and he could also let the villagers grow together, so that they could also make some money. It would also be good for the whole village to make money together.

Su He went to buy some other things with his father and brother, and then drove back home. They couldn't live there anymore, and they still felt it was expensive. They felt that they had to cherish every penny they had, and they had to save on food, shelter, clothing and daily necessities. They bought buns on the way again, and this time there was a heater in the car, so they put the buns with chopsticks in the stove to heat them up, and they could eat them. Su He brought kudzu root powder with hot water, which could be used as soup, so the three of them could have a hot meal.

Su He thinks the mule cart she bought this time is really good, especially in winter, it can be used for heating and cooking simple meals. She bought some charcoal last time, and this time she can go home with her brother to burn some charcoal, which will be much more convenient. She found that the skills she learned were being unlocked little by little, and even if she forgot, she would remember them because of the needs of life.

On the way, I discussed charcoal making with my eldest brother. He was also very interested. Su He had learned how to make charcoal, but had never done it before. It is so convenient now. Coal, electricity and solar energy are so convenient.

Solar energy Su He suddenly thought of this thing, he could think of a way. The most important thing for solar energy is glass, which is mentioned in Jules Verne's novel "Mysterious Island". How to generate electricity, they can't use modern things to generate electricity. How to make glass, this seems to be really possible. Try using a silver plate for the solar stove first, but you need a super large silver plate. You have to melt some silver at home, make it into silver foil and stick it to a large pot. If it doesn't work, just stick it in small pieces by yourself. The most important thing is that the brightness must be guaranteed. Buy two thin iron pots of the same size.

This was not something he had thought of, so he directly agreed with the blacksmith in the town, agreed on the diameter, and made the solar rack directly. Su He drew the picture, which cost a lot of money, and the blacksmith asked them for a total of five taels of silver.

Then Su He went to find a silversmith to make a silver sheet, and said that it should be attached to the iron pot. The silversmith said that it was no problem, that silver-covered iron could do it. Su He told him to bring the pot back in two days. In this way, cooking at home will be very convenient in the future, with a solar stove. The family can chop less firewood and enter the era of energy conservation in advance.

Su He thought that when his family had a lot of money in the future, he could find a skilled craftsman, so he could try to make a lamp, but tungsten filaments were hard to find. Su He knew that his current ability was definitely not enough. Although there were so many products of civilization, his ability was too limited to make them. There were also many that he had only seen and understood the principles of invention, but he had never practiced them. The conditions here were limited, and he might not be able to make them.

Su He knew that he had died in the original century and could not go back, so he decided to make a breakthrough here! In order to make some contribution to the world, he experimented slowly.
